foe- mens trench Was a blinding blazing hell Through the yellowish haze of thai noxious stench It quivered with shot and shell It roared and screamed with its flame and flash And the black smoke spouted high And the shrapnel burst in a bloodred splash rent the flaring sky The raging roar of unnumbered guns Was enough to make reason rock And the metal was falling in countless tons With a deafening crash and shock When up from we soar and ran into he zone of flame As if we were racing like lads for fun Not on the scroll of fame We pushed right on without break or fear Like the spirits

from The Dallas Despatch which shows that the editor in the midst of a proGerman people knows what he is writing about The answer of Great Britain and her allies lo the peace pro posal of President Wilson is the most remarkable document that the war has produced When one considers that every statement every word had lo ex press the composite view of some eleven nations having its own language ambitions and psychology its clarity is in strik ing contrast to the original the central powers the notes of the neutrals The indictment of Prussian militarism for having started Ihe war lo insure Teutonic hege mony headship or control over Europe arid its economic dom ination over the world is unan swerable because is based up on historical fact The indictment of Prussian militarism for the ravishment of Belgium in cynically brutal vio lation of sacred neutral rights is unanswerable because the body of Belgium is living proof of its truth The indictment of Prussian militarism for all of the many and varied brutalities and viola tions of international and moral law since the beginning the war is unanswerable because the facts are so well established that neither Turkey nor Germany has even attempted lo deny them We have no doubt that these indictments will appeal the sense of justice and the con science of the neutral world no less than will the expressed de termination of the allies to con tinue the war with all the ener gy they can command and at whatever sacrifice is necessary to free Europe and the world from he menace of future Prussian military aggression and to com
